Thinks Tliat Riveted Steel Is Not So "Well Adapted to Inrsc Service Main?. In summarizing In his report the results of his Investigation of the relative merits of oast-Iron and riveted steel ror water mala purposes. Chief - Engineer D. D. Clarke, who was ent East by the Water Board especially to examine Into the mat ter, says: "Various opinions have been expressed aad varying conclusions have been reached in the different cities regarding the relative value of steel. wrougbt-Iron and cast-iron pipes. Considering the -wide field covered, it Is but natural that a divergence of opinion and experience should be found to exist. I think, how ever, I am fully warranted In saying that there exists at this time. In the minds of many waterworks officials and hy draulic engineers, especially among those who have tised steel pipes for any extend ed period, a feeling of doubt or uncer tainty regarding the Hfe of the metal, especially In certain soils, but whether this Is due to what Is known of the char acter of the metal Itself and the danger of the rapid corrosion of the tin protected sheet or to the difficulty attending the application of a protective coating- which shall thoroughly protect the surface of the plates. 1 am unable to state. "Considering the question In large serv ice. It must also be admitted that prac tically the steel pipes have not been proven by experience to equal the wroHght-iron pipes, which have as ions been In use about San Francisco Bay. "I also fed fully warranted In stating that among the engineers and water de partment officials whom I visited there exists practically a unanimous opinion that for water mains for the distribution system ef a city, especially for mains 30 Inches la diameter and under, there Is no material now In use which lends Itself more readily to air-the demands made upon It for such a purpose than does cast-i-a. It Is also recognized that for mains larger than 30 Inches in diameter. or for long supply conduits optside of city limits, the difference In cost of the two styles of pipe would b a controlling factor. "In conclusion. I desire to say that at each point visited I endeavored to ascer tain the approximate length, size and thickness of the steel pipe in use, of the larger sizes, and the present condition of each pipe so far as known, and also. when possible, to gain an expression of opinion regarding the durability of steel m India will .raent with were . will bo to lexfn how to Ulrjj cniEr. more so.

CARTER AFTER THE PLACE Montana Senator Wants to Play Pol itics With Fund Reorganiza tion 3Iay Give 'Dubois a Scat There. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. Dec 2. Senator Ankeny. of Washington, by the rule of seniority and succession, has fallen heir to the chair manship of the committee on Irrigation, and. unless the Senate departs from cus tom, he will be given this cherished posi tion when th committees are. reorganized In December. But It Is reported that a fight Is to be made to wrest this chair manship from Ankeny. Senator T. H. Carter, .of Montana, wants the place, and his friends' not only say he will make a fight for it. but express confidence that he will win out. It would be presumptuous on Carter's part to make such a fight. It Is true he served one term in the Senate, but he re tired four years ago .and now comes to the Senate a second time. So far as com mittee assignments are concerned, he will be recognized as a new Senator, and. according to Senate practice, will not be accorded recognition over Senators whose terms began two years or more ago. His previous term gives him no especial standing. He Is junior to Mr. Ankeny. notwithstanding Ankeny has served but two years. Ankeny Xcxt In Line. The Senate Is a great stickier for fol lowing precedent, and unless it makes an exception in this case. Ankeny will be made chairman. He is not in direct line, but Warren will become chairman of public buildings and grounds, while Hansbrough will remain chairman of pub lic lands and Ankeny. now In third place, will be advanced to the top. Warren and Hansbrough have chairmanships that are considered better than that of the Irrigation committee, and as each Senator is entitled to but one chairman ship, they will waive all claim to that place. There Is reason why Carter want? to get this chairmanship. He is going to wage war on the Reclamation Service this Winter; he does not like the present way of apportioning the reclamation fund: ho does not like the way the Rec lamation Service Is worrying on Its work, and he wants to make It possible for Congressional Influonce to direct where the fund shall be spent and who shall carry out the work. At chairman of the irrigation committee, he would be more apt to carry out his purpose than as a mere member of the committee. But in this fight Carter will have to go against the will of the administration, and he may not succeed. The irrigation committee as now made up consists of 13 members, eight Republi cans and five Democrat?. The growing Importance of National reclamation work has increased its Importance, and it is not unlikely that its membership will be enlarged, to 15 or IT. Thin must be de cided by the committee on committees. But even If the committee Is not en larged there must be five new appoint ments, four Republicans to succeed Bard. Stewart. Kearns and Dietrich, and Democrat to succeed Gibson of Montana. Newlands of Nevada already being on the committee, the vacancy left by Stewart of that State may go to some other state that Is benefited by the rec lamation law. Flint is very apt to suc ceed Bard: Sutherland or Smoot will probably succeed Kearns. and Dietrich's place may go to Burkett- In case Car ter Is appointed In place of Glbsxm or Montana, that will reduce the Democratic membership to four, which will be an other reason for increasing the size of the committee. But this would leave only one Eastern man on the committee. Gor man of Maryland. Effort will be made, It is said, to Induce him to step aside In favor of pome Western man from state not now represented on this essen tially Western committee. As It Is, near ly every state benefited by the reclama tion set Is represented; save Idaho, and the appointment of Dubois to Gibson's place would serve the double purpose of giving Idaho representation and main talnlng the minority representation on Its present footing. Idaho, -with two great Government projects under construction and more to follow. Is as much entitled to representation as any other state in the arid region, and there Is every rea son to believe thl3 state "vlll be granted recognition at the coming session. WHERE CANADA IS AHEAD Unlike United States, Gets Revenue From "Water Power. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash Ington. Nov. . Inquiries received at Washington indicate an awakening on the part of Canadian authorities to the Im portance of inaugurating systematic hydrographlc work throughout the Do minion. The want of data, in connection with the subject of stream flow Is great ly felt by the engineers who are exploit ing Canada s water power and water sup ply enterprises. Canada, has taken an advanced stand In the matter of forest preservation. Her system of disposing of the public domain Is singularly free from the scandals with which our own policy Is reeking. It Is, therefore, somewhat surprising to learn that In Canada the very Important mat ter of hydrographlc investigation has been wholly neglected.

Portland, Or. remarkable when It is remembered that the Province of Quebec, one of the old and populous divisions, while rich in tim ber and mineral, ha3 no deposits of coal It possesses, however, a bountiful sup ply of swift flowing streams, upon which unlimited power development Is possible. As large areas of the province are remote from railroads, these water powers are of more than usual Importance In con nection with the Industrial growth. Canada's poHcy of securing a revenue from each public utility is at strange variance with that of this counrty. which donates for the asking its valuable water rights, reservoir sites and water powers. All over this country, and especially' In In the far West, the Nation's generosity nas been taken advantage of and abused by promoters who have secured their rights and then manipulated them in the Interest of corporations and trusts. They In turn have exacted undue profits from the people. In Quebec the water powers are the property of the province. and are for sale by the provincial gov ernment, usually for a lump sum. No sale, however, is made without the pur chaser obligating himself to develop the power within a specified time. No such restrictions are made in this country, or If they are made they are rarely enforced. The result is that hundreds of our most valuable power sites have passed from tne Government and yet are wholly un developed. They are held for speculation pending the development of the country. In respect to the knowledge we have of the flow of our streams and their de velopment of power, we are far In ad vance of our Northern neighbors. More than 12 years ago the hydrographlc branch of the United States Geological Survey, appreciating the need of reli able information regarding the hydro- graphic possibilities of the United States. began to make systematic measurements of the flow of the various streams, and to study the conditions which affect this flow. Prior to that time engineers In most cases were obliged to base their estimation for hydraulic development upon very remote data, and frequently deductions made from rainfall observa tions led to serious errors, and in many cases to pronounced failures. A notable example of this war shown in the finan cial failure of the Austin. Tex., dam. The estimates for this structure were made upon one or two low-water measurements. and the loss to the company, owing to the insufficient water supply equaled the amount expended during the first five years by the Geological Survey in Its hyd rographlc work. The publication of the data obtained by the hydrographlc engineers of the Gov ernment In many cases has completely al tered previous notions regarding many streams. Not a few of these streams were long regarded as unfit for develop ment until a compilation of the facts re lating to their flow proved their value, since which some of the most important powers In the country have been estab lished upon them. The work of the hydrographlc branch of this Government has been accepted as a model by several other countries, some of which have drawn upon the bureau for engineers. The bureau will co-operate heartily with Canada in the event that she organizes a hydrographlc investiga tion similar to the one which is being made in this country. FAT FOLKS 'Mr WU-Zm Mil 367 lbs.
